Directions

1. Let the roast stand at room temperature 30-45 minutes before grilling.
2. In a food processor, finely mince the garlic, rosemary, basil, salt, and pepper; add in the mustard and olive oil; process to form a paste.
3. Smear the paste all over the top and sides of the roast.
4. Grill, bone side down, over Indirect Medium Heat until cooked to desired doneness, 1 ½ to 2 hours for medium-rare.
5. Transfer the roast to a cutting board and remove the bones.
6. Loosely cover the roast with foil and let rest for 20-30 minutes.
7. Meanwhile, make the dressing: add the cream and garlic in a medium saucepan.
8. Bring the cream to a boil over medium-high heat, then decrease the heat to a simmer and cook until the cream coats the back of a spoon, 5-10 minutes.
